Works for me.  Using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0.  I was able to get to
http://ca.games.yahoo.com/games/login?page=pl, where the game rooms are
displayed.  And, I was able to enter a game room without crashing -- after
downloading the required plugin and placing the appropriate jre lib in the
firefox plugins directory.

Reporter, there maybe a problem with your jre libs.  Please check out mozdev.org
at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html#Win32 for instructions that my
help resolve your problem.

If the instructions do help (or not) in solving your problem, please report here
with your findings.  Thanks.

Using Deer Park Alpha. Got into yahoo! games. Was able to log-in. Attempted to
log into games server (in this case for mah-jhong) when the browser crashed. I
am currently running Windows XP.
